From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 kept hold of its number one slot in the all formats chart despite an 81% drop in sales and competition from new entry Hitman Absolution.

By way of comparison that puts Black Ops 2′s second week sales up by 15% over last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 signalling another successful week for Activision Blizzard’s shooter franchise.

There are new entries further down the chart with Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two new at No. 34, Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse in at No. 35 and Sony’s PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale starting out at No. 38. Results which won’t please the execs at Disney, Activision and Sony respectively.

Predictions for next week: Far Cry 3, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Nintendo Land, ZombiU.
